I am not sure whether this is related ( or I am doing something wrong ) but I am encountering similar kind of problem when importing  schema namespace
With xerces 1.3.1 and CR for xml schema when  I imported
the standard http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace for use of xml:lang,
it gets parsed perfect when I use xml spy or turbo xml but with xerces parser it gives error :
"Globally defined attributes should have use= default or fixed "
I do not have any attributes in my xml , so I guess it is refering to attributes defined in xml.xsd mentioned in schemaLocation in import .
If I do not give schemaLoacation , xerces gives error :
" File "" not found."
 

Following is the xml snippet :
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
  elementFormDefault = "qualified">
 <xsd:import namespace = "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
    schemaLocation = "http://www.w3.org/2000/10/xml.xsd"/>

Any pointers ??

I'm attempting to validate an instance document against
a slightly complicated schema which includes and imports
several smaller ones. I've noticed that attributes
specified use="required" that are referenced from an
imported schema/namespace aren't enforced as I'd expect.

I've included boiled-down examples to better illustrate
below. I'm using JDK 1.3.1 and Xerces-J 1.4.2 and am
trying to validate using one of the included samples,

java -classpath xerces.jar;xercesSamples.jar dom.DOMCount -svnf
instance.xml

Any pointers or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

The main schema:
-----------------------------
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns = "http://birch.asset.com/example"
     targetNamespace = "http://birch.asset.com/example"
     xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:driggs="http://driggs.asset.com">

  <!-- Import namespace and global attribute from second schema -->
  <xsd:import namespace = "http://driggs.asset.com"
              schemaLocation = "importedSchema.xsd" />

  <xsd:element name="root">
    <xsd:complexType>

      <!-- This attribute is required, and the parser handles it
properly -->
      <xsd:attribute name="LocalRequiredAttribute"        use="required"
/>

      <!-- This referenced attribute is required, but the parser doesn't
catch it -->
      <xsd:attribute ref="driggs:GlobalRequiredAttribute" use="required"
/>

    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>
--------------------------------
The imported schema containing the globally defined attribute:
---------------------------------
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns = "http://driggs.asset.com"
     targetNamespace = "http://driggs.asset.com"
     xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <xsd:attribute name="GlobalRequiredAttribute" />

</xsd:schema>
-----------------------------------
The instance document - should produce errors when validated
since GlobalRequiredAttribute is not present, xerces lists
no errors when parsed and validated:
------------------------------------
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns="http://birch.asset.com/example"
      xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation = "http://birch.asset.com/example  example.xsd"

      LocalRequiredAttribute="blah" />
